According to the CDC, anyone who is sexually active can contract syphilis, but it is particularly prevalent among men who have sex with men. Individuals with HIV or those who have a partner who has tested positive for syphilis should also be tested. Pregnant women are recommended to get tested for syphilis during their first prenatal visit, as untreated syphilis can lead to serious complications for the baby.
Early detection and treatment of syphilis are crucial. If left untreated, syphilis can lead to severe health problems affecting the heart, brain, and other organs of the body. Testing is simple and can help prevent the spread of the disease to others.
Urgent care centers such as 1st Choice Urgent Care in Taylor and HMC Urgent Care in Dearborn offer STD testing services, including for syphilis. These clinics often offer same-day or next-day appointments, which can be booked through Solv.
Primary care providers are another option for syphilis testing. If you have a regular doctor, they can order a syphilis test for you.
There are also community health centers in and around Lincoln Park that offer free or low-cost STD testing. It's important to check with each center for their specific services and eligibility requirements.
At-home testing kits for syphilis are available for those who prefer privacy or cannot visit a clinic. These kits can be ordered online, done at home, and sent back to a lab for results.
While specific data for Lincoln Park is not readily available, Wayne County, where Lincoln Park is located, has seen an increase in syphilis cases in recent years, according to the CDC. This trend mirrors the national increase in syphilis cases, emphasizing the importance of regular testing.
Risk factors for syphilis include unprotected sex, having multiple sexual partners, and being a man who has sex with men. Drug use can also increase the risk, as it can lead to risky sexual behavior.
In addition to syphilis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and hepatitis are also of concern in the Lincoln Park area. Regular testing for all STDs is recommended for anyone who is sexually active, especially those with multiple partners or who engage in unprotected sex.
